A
trip to the library can change your life, but Guiles Fredricks never
expected to find his mate standing behind the checkout desk. One
whiff of her blackberry and lavender scent has him hooked, but the
fear haunting her emerald green eyes makes his bear roar to claim and
protect her.
Gina Salducci came to Honey Corners to hide.
On the run from her abusive ex- boyfriend she fears she will never be
safe. Nick Mancuso runs Atlantic City, he has ties to the mob and
won’t hesitate to kill her if he finds her. Obviously her taste in
men sucks.
When her fears are realized and danger finds
her, will she run again, or find it in her heart to trust the bear
that vows he is her mate?

Review

Gina
is hiding, not only from a man but who she is. She has found a home
but danger follows. And until she meets Guiles things are fine,
lonely but fine. But Guiles turns everything upside down. He brings
her body alive, a body she can’t trust along with her own
intuition. In Grin
and Bear It,
the third installment of Tamara
Hoffa’s Animal
in Me
series, Gina must step out of the shadows and take back her life. I
loved that Gina did what was necessary to live. She knew the better
part of valor was to get the hell out of dodge or in this case
Atlantic City. Once she was given little choice she was willing to
fight for those she loves. And Guiles was a large part of why she
was finally ready. I loved that Guiles was willing to stand not only
in front of Gina but also by her side. He knew she was hiding
something and he wanted his mate happy and whole so he wasn’t
willing to allow her secrets. Ms.
Hoffa gave
Gina a mate who was strong but not overwhelming. She gave Guiles a
mate who was willing to do whatever necessary to protect those she
loves. Together they were stronger and with time they were able to
realize that even as they fought Gina’s past. This story was well
written. It was full of love and perseverance. I thoroughly enjoyed
getting to know Gina and can’t wait to see where Ms.
Hoffa will
take us next in this series.
